<p><a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/418692/beyonc-pregnant-singer-expecting-baby-no-2-with-jay-z" target="_blank">E! News</a>&nbsp;reports multiple sources have confirmed the singer is expecting.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Earlier this week, speculation surfaced Beyonc&eacute; may be pregnant after the singer abruptly <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/418559/beyonce-fuels-pregnancy-rumors-after-being-advised-by-doctors-to-cancel-belgium-concert" target="_blank">cancelled a performance in Belgium</a> due to "dehydration and exhaustion."</span></p>
<p>In response to the cancellation, Beyonc&eacute; <a href="http://iam.beyonce.com/post/50474850541" target="_blank">issued a handwritten apology</a> to fans on her official site.</p>
<p><span>Beyonc&eacute;&nbsp;is currently in the middle of her Mrs. Carter Show world tour&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.beyonce.com/tour-dates" target="_blank">which runs through August</a><span>.</span></p>
<p class="p1">Earlier, the singer's PR team <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/apr/24/beyonce-bans-photographers-mrs-carter" target="_blank">banned photographers from taking pictures</a> during her performances.&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="p1">Some believed the extreme measure was in response to <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeedceleb/the-unflattering-photos-beyonces-publicist-doesnt-want-you-t" target="_blank">unflattering pictures of Beyonc&eacute; hitting the web</a> after her <a class="hidden_link" href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/super-bowl-6">Super Bowl</a> performance.</p>
<p>Beyonc&eacute; welcomed her first child, Blue Ivy, with husband <a class="hidden_link" href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/jay-z">Jay-Z</a> last January.</p>
<p>During a recent interview with "Good Morning America" the "Love on Top" singer <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20697625,00.html" target="_blank">said she wanted to have another child</a>.</p>
<p><span>"I think my daughter needs some company. I definitely love being big sister."</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The singer revealed her first pregnancy during a </span><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/beyonce-pregnant-vmas-video-2011-8">performance at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Beyonc&eacute;'s reps have yet to confirm the news.</span></p><p><strong>SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-great-gatsby-cannes-premiere-rained-on-2013-5" >Celebrities Getting windblown at 'The Great Gatsby' premiere in Cannes ></a></strong></p>

<p><img style="float:right;" src="http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/510ac368ecad04b250000012-400-300/beyonce-5.png" border="0" alt="beyonce" width="400" height="300" /></p><p>In her upcoming HBO documentary "Life Is But a Dream," Beyonc&eacute; <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2271378/Beyonce-miscarriage-details-Star-opens-heartache-candid-interview.html" target="_blank">reveals she suffered a miscarriage</a>, calling it "The saddest thing I've ever been through."</p>
<p><span><span>In the doc premiering February 16, the 31-year-old singer explains,&nbsp;<span>"About two years ago, I was pregnant for the first time. And I heard the heartbeat, which was the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life."</span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Beyonc&eacute; continues, "<span>I envisioned what my child would look like ... I was feeling very maternal."</span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/09/glory-jay-zs-song-for-daughter-blue-ivy_n_1194569" target="_hplink">Jay-Z even references their loss in his song "Glory</a>," rapping<span>, "Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/We was afraid you'd disappear/But nah baby you magic." </span></span></span></span></p>
<p><img style="float:right;" src="http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/510ac3876bb3f7383d000011-521/beyonce-6.png" border="0" alt="Beyonce" width="301" height="225" /></p>
<p><span><span><span><span>Beyonc&eacute;, for her part, has never spoken about the miscarriage ... until now.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span></span>But the Super Bowl halftime singer dealt with her tragedy by going back into the recording studio.<br /></span></span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"></span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"I went into the studio and wrote the saddest song I've ever written in my life," she says, "</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">And it was actually the first song I wrote for my album.&nbsp;</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">It was the best form of therapy for me, because it was the saddest thing I've ever been through."</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">But soon after, Beyonc&eacute; and Jay-Z learned another child was on the way.</span></p>
<p><span><img style="float:right;" src="http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/510ac3d36bb3f78041000000-459/beyonce-pregnant.png" border="0" alt="Beyonce pregnant" width="300" />When discussing her daughter Blue Ivy, the new mom says, "Being pregnant was very much like falling in love.&nbsp;</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">You are so open. You are so overjoyed.&nbsp;</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">There's no words that can express having a baby growing inside of you, so of course you want to scream it out and tell everyone."</span></p>
<p>The power couple eventually did reveal the news to the world when Beyonc&eacute; <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2031269/Beyonc-pregnant-Baby-bump-debuted-MTV-VMAs.html" target="_blank">surprised everyone with her baby bump on-stage</a> during a performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in August.</p>
<p>And despite being originally reluctant to let Beyonc&eacute; co-direct her own documentary, HBO programming president, Michael Lombardo, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hbos-thoughts-on-beyonce-co-directing-her-documentary-2013-1" target="_blank">recently told GQ</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span><span>"You feel ... t</span><span>hat vulnerability of someone searching for the comfort place where they're willing to be more than the image that has been fed to us&mdash;I was incredibly moved by that ... I dare&nbsp;anybody to tune in and turn it off."</span><span><br /></span></span></p>

<p>Haven't figured out a costume yet? Don't panic.</p>
<p>Instead of dressing up like a slutty version of [insert any animal here], we've gathered some ideas on how to dress like the celebrities that made some of the year's biggest headlines.</p>
<p>From <strong>Beyonce</strong>'s questionable baby bump to <strong>Charlie</strong> <strong>Sheen</strong> (being <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/charlie-sheen" class="hidden_link">Charlie Sheen</a>).</p><h3>Doug Hutchison and Courtney Stodden = the perfect couples costume. For the girl, you'll need a long blonde wig, too-tight black dress, Pamela Anderson-style arm band, and bright red nail polish. Don't forget to make really uncomfortable facial expressions. For the guy, just be old, creepy, and hold on to a tiny terrified dog.</h3>

<br/><br/><h3>Yet another couples costume. The guy should let his hair grow long and refuse to shave; the girl should wear a long, wavy brunette wig. Tweet all-night-long while only sometimes wearing your wedding rings and refuse to answer any questions about your relationship. Have a blonde follow you around, claiming she had an affair.</h3>

<p><strong><img style="float:right;" src="http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/4e8f0f0fecad041f5f00000b/beyonce.jpg" border="0" alt="Beyonce" />Beyonce</strong>'s new <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1672134/beyonce-countdown-video.jhtml">music video for "Countdown"</a> premiered on Thursday.</p>
<p>And it's great.</p>
<p>The styling is full of references -- <strong>Audrey Hepburn</strong>, "Dreamgirls," <strong>Brigitte Bardot</strong>, "Flashdance," -- and flashing neon colors.</p>
<p>But head-to-toe black and baggy shirts don't do much to show off the baby bump.</p>
<p>And, let's face it, that's what everyone wants to see.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1672134/beyonce-countdown-video.jhtml">MTV points out</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">"The visibility of Beyonc&eacute;'s pregnancy varies throughout the video, indicating she likely shot a great deal of the footage for "Countdown" earlier in her pregnancy and more recently re-shot or re-conceptualized the clip to reflect her growing belly."</p>
<p>So it was probably more about keeping the images consistent with her growing bump, and less about keeping it hidden.</p>
<p>In any case, the <strong>Adria</strong> <strong>Petty</strong> (daughter of Tom) directed video is proof that a pregnant-Beyonce can still out-dance her non-pregnant back-up dancers.</p>
